Maphosa Impresses On Debut

Wednesday Nov 28, 2018

Fortune is latest Academy graduate!

Saturday saw Fortune Maphosa make his first team debut away against Stourbridge, and in doing so, become the fifth member of last seasons record-equaling U18 side to make their competitive bow for the first team, after Chandler Pegg, Kyle Hayden, Aidan Jeynes, and Junior Mpofu.

Fortune was joined in an unfamiliar central midfield position by U21 product Jordan Clement, who now has several appearances to his name after being handed a debut by Tim Harris away at Lowestoft earlier this season. Clement joins several other U21's who have made an impact at first team level,including Dan Jezeph, Drew Ricketts, Charlie Shaw, and Dexter Walters, who has now progressed into the professional game with Coventry City.
